That was no coincidence
RRP Friday
Have a look at the PS Store, you’ll find your answer there
Thanks for enlightening me on how much of a SCAM the PS store is.
Thank you for doing the hard work for me :)
If you have digital version, then just wait for sale
@Fuzor: Have to wait 5x to 10x longer than everyone else if you wait for equivalent discounts to physical. Digital edition users will just pay more for less overall
Actually, the PS Store does come out with some genuine bargains that beats disk versions of the games. Unfortunately just not enough bargains for the new console and it is more appropriate for the PS4. Give it a few more years but probably by then the digital console would have been discontinued.
New games are always cheaper physically, but older games can get cheaper digitally.
@mackdiddy: Mmm I’d argue even older games are more often cheaper physically compared to the PS Store.
Particularly if you’re open to buying pre-owned games, then there’s no contest.
Look at the price of digital games. This will reveal all.
for rrp…. But it's in stock… But it cost more now…
So not a bargain then.
Yes it is worth it. PS store overcharges for games, so almost always cheaper to buy physical games.
cause u can resell physical games, you need to install full games straight onto harddrive for every game for digital
You have to install every game onto the HDD even if you have the disk on PS5.
You can delete the game after you finish it.
Your view (shared with a lot of members) appears to be that cheaper = better. This is not the case for a lot of products.
150$ probably saved you 4 games? after that, good luck
Yes.
Digital is good if you only play one or two games. Like myself, I’ve only played fifa for the past 10 years.
There are support groups for EA's victims
Was $1000? L O L
Corporate greed is driving inflation.
So capitalism operating as intended?
Yeah ridiculous. It's like they justify it as "well a scalper was once able to sell it for this much"
That would be more like $1500
Look at EB games price on used consoles - not far from new price. They all suck so Im sticking with PS4 and Xbox One thanks
Pretty sure that is against the law - might be worth a ACCC complaint - wonder how much the jungle site pays for law suits to go away?
It's not what it seems. The $1000 price was from the third party reseller's listing. Now they Amazon AU have stock, their own listing is now the cheapest.
It's not Amazon making up a fake RRP.
Eg. See Xbox Series X. Cheapest right now is $1000+.
That is not clear from the advertisement. You may get into an argument about what is amazon or not - they are advertising "was $1000" which is clearly not true. Was $690 from someone else…
@iratepirate: It was in fact $749 as sold by Amazon before this advertisement https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B08HHV8945
@iratepirate: Was Price refers to the price at which this product (or a variation of this product —e.g. a different size or colour of this product) was recently sold on Amazon AU.
Still an issue and could still be fake as the sold price can be manipulated by 3rd party easily.
You can pay $680 for disc version at jb with 15% gc's. Just saying.
Haven't found the gc's hard to get or ps5's. Tho stock prob thinning out a bit.
I bought the gift cards thinking this is the case. JB ran out of stocks as soon as I purchased the gift cards. Now I have to wait. 😬
I had 2 of 3 with stock and the third was waitlisting because they had allocated stock arriving
Ask to hop on a waitlist
So hard to find these gc right now
Are there any JB gift cards on sale at the moment?
15% at coles definitely. I think 10% at woolies
My god, I clicked and it was still in stock… Brb gonna check for flying pigs
Check if hell has frozen over too.
It is still in stock 13 hours later. I guess the supply shortage is over
Would this likely be the updated (tweaked) newer version ?
Where the deal?
Retail…
This has been available for most of the day, which makes me think Sony has been stockpiling them, driving up demand so they can make bank for the Christmas season and then dumping their load for Black Friday.
"PlayStation 5 for rrp" No deal and stock is pretty consistent now. The last 3 times I have walked into a JB i have heard people asking if they have PS5s in stock and the answer has always been yes.
and then everybody clapped
no bargain, sorry.
It's still $50 more from the price hike Sony made.
I think it’s time to retire the PS5 posts..
It’s just asking for trouble 😝😝
Ever since the price went up, these have been easier to get a hold of. The Ragnarok bundle is still in stock lol.
Thanks op, finally have a ps5 after 2 years of waiting it out for good games to come out. I guess it’s was now or never considering a price cut is not going to happen lol. Or a possible pro revision
Have the good games arrived? Apart from the new God of War which you can get on PS4 anyway?
Returnal is excellent if you're up for a challenge. Demon's Souls remake is fantastic. Ratchet and Clank is very pretty and quite fun. God of War is good and runs beautifully on a 120hz display (as it should for a cross platform title), but yes, you can pleb it up at 30fps on PS4.
We should have more good titles that aren't cross-platform with PS4 by now though, for sure.
Which games are you waiting for?
To be honest looks likes nothing that appeals to me, I bought gt7 and ratchet and clank. That gta 6 leak gave us a hint of true next gen gameplay.
Upvoted because screw the anti-RRP brigade!
Downvoted because screw the pro-RRP brigade!
Also because RRP isn’t a bargain. These consoles are readily available now.
wow 50 bucks more now
Thanks, Op! Great deal.
In-stock everywhere at RRP where is the deal
Genuine question but have you found anywhere else that has console only without the forced God of War digital add-on?
This post still seems to be the only place I can find the console by itself at RRP, at the time of my typing this anyway.Hope to actually see more of this available elsewhere soon.
There were previous posts of JB having the same console only SKU
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/ps5-playstation-5-console
Yeah I'm aware of the ones that come and go once in a while. I'm just glad to see one that's up for an extended amount of time. Hopefully this stays available so we don't have to see RRP posts anymore
can someone enlighten me what's PS5 do better than Xbox X? Xbox X was essentially $599 with AmEx cashback at Microsoft 2 days ago
Sony exclusives are much better. I also prefer the controller.
Which Sony exclusives did you buy the PS5 for that you couldn't play on PS4?
They didn't ask about the PS4. They asked about PS5 vs Xbox. But if I had to pick I'd have to say Returnal, Demon's Souls and Rift Apart.
The ones he wants to play in 4k / high framerate with quicker load times, I reckon
@DiscountForThee: Totally. I couldn't stand God of War 2018 at 30fps on my PS4, but I thoroughly enjoyed it on PS5.
I see. thank you!
After the xbox 360 I decided against buying console hardware from Microsoft. On top of that, my home entertainment electronics are now all Sony, gonna keep it within the family. And Final Fantasy is ps5 exclusive
Surely everyone that wants a PS5 at retail has one by now.
Geez, even Amazon themselves unwilling to discount the PS5 for Black Friday…
No deal here, it's not Ozinventory.
Seems like the demand is dropping A LOT
More like stock has increased a lot
yeah about time. And I reckon most people are now waiting for the slim version instead.
Yea, been holding off because while the PS4 Pro managed to fit inside my tv cabinet with quite a little bit of breathing space, PS5 couldn't fit in…
Waiting for slim version which hopefully can fit in my tv cabinet
Probably both
How is rrp a bargain when there's plenty of stock?
there's plenty of stock?
Can you go into a retail store and buy a PS5?
Yes, JB.
I went to jbhifi and asked if they had any stock: they did
$1000 original price?
Anything > $750 is not a bargain. :( Btw I got one delivered within 1 week through Vodafone for $749 through nbn contract deal in Feb 2022.
Still in stock.
The hype is well and truly dead.
Either that or stock is abundant.Or both?
Or both :)
I picked up one from JB Hifi Macquarie for $799 using TCN cards. The actual cost was $680. But, best part is, they gave $50 back at the Concierge as a promotion. So, final cost is $630. ( forgot to use the perks coupon)
The better deal is for those grabbed 19% BigW cards and used jb-hifi perks. It would have been $588.
Guys its back.
Was it ever gone?
Probably not hahaha
